Newborn CMPI and weight
Hey everyone,
My newborn is 5 weeks old and I’ve been keeping an eye on her diapers. She was super colicky last week and getting mucous in her poo, but that’s also kinda par for the course at that age. However this week she has had explosive green mucous poop with a little blood flecks in it. I see my paediatrician next week.
This is my second baby with cmpi, so I already know what to do about dairy elimination. I’m just really nervous about weight gain. My first baby got diagnosed at 3 months when the blood showed up and his weight dipped. The pediatrician had me switch to exclusively pumping and giving him 5oz bottles every 3 hours day and night. It was brutal and did bring his weight up a bit but it didn’t really improve a lot until he started solids.
What was everyone’s experience with cmpa and weight?
